Ideas on testing solicited. It is my understanding - based on the combined forces of illiteracy and ignorance - that the contamination causes the the strands of the shield to be insulated from each other so that the shield no longer behaves like a shield. The fact that the shield is now covered in crap also make it very difficult to solder as we all know. Maybe this is natures way of getting cheapskate hams to buy new cable instead carrying on with that lossy old stuff they found behind the furnace. -- Richard Loken VE6BSV, Systems Programmer - VMS : "Anybody can be a father Athabasca University : but you have to earn Athabasca, Alberta Canada : the title of 'daddy'" ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** : - Lynn Johnston ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------
